Connect 4

Last night marked the first time I've had four consecutive $1,000+ days. There seems to be a lot of action on the tables around 3am - 4am EST (8am - 9am UK) so I will continue to try and put in a decent amount of hours.

Taken in isolation, those three hands (see last post) where I have been rivered by a King had a combined probability of 0.01%!! Frustrating but, as I mentioned before, it's not worth worrying about. Good job I have a chat ban though.

The key is more to do with effectively playing a lot of tables simultaneously. Specifically this means being able to act fairly quickly with each decision. This relies in part on the ability to judge the strength of each opponents' hand, and with experience this becomes quite easy for the most part.

Last month I averaged $120/hr which translates to $10/hr/table.

$10/hour or 5BB/hour (this includes rake- would be closer to 4BB/hour without it) is a good rate but obviously quite obtainable if someone is playing just a single table.

It is comparable with a regular winner playing a single $10/$25 table but with more fish than you would expect to find at those stakes!

I understand that u multi table, but shouldn't normal variance limit u to making perhaps say 15 buy ins a week at most? cheers for the reply by the way, i play for a living too and have been struggling with 6 tabling 1/2 nl recently. so i'm obviously very interested!
